Yeah.... I'm not googling that....

At least we have Palace at home. And without Sakho. I'd hate to have to their place at this stage of the season.

WBA away this weekend a big one though. On paper at least probably our most difficult game remaining.

I'm glad it at home too, but they have won the last 2 games in Anfield. Hopefully they get enough points to be safe before we play them and Benteke resembles the player he was when he played for us.

He'll be very very keen to get one or two in the onion bag. Last time he was at Anfield Klopp more or less gave out to him after the game on the pitch iirc.

It looked that way anyway.

Zaha is the man in form for them. Hes playing very well lately and is exactly the type of player that always causes us problems. His pace against our defence will definitely be troubling

As the guardian noted Pulis sides consistently pack it in when they are safe so hopefully that'll remain the case.

Hopefully they don't get any corners against us.

Gerrard to be u-18 manager from next season apparently. Isn't that Neil Critchley's job? Wonder is he getting a promotion or reassigned or getting kicked out? Hopefully not the latter anyhow as I think he's well thought of. Seems Gerrard is being given a more high profile job which will presumably end up with him being on the first XI coaching staff in the next 2-3 years, whether Harry likes it or not (and he won't).

Harry Palmr

:mad:

Feels like rushing him, he and the club really should be taking this slowly. The U18 squad is effectively the bridge between Academy and the first team these days - if you are good enough you'll only be in the U23s for game time - like Woodburn and TAA were for a few months. If Gerrard turns out to have been promoted above his ability coaching the u23 would actually do less harm

Which is something I have kept a close eye on since they reached 40 points and my research shows, as predicted, that they only pack it in against the perceived smaller sides. They still try against the big sides as evidenced when they drew at Old Trafford and even beat Arsenal 3-1 in the past few weeks whilst losing comfortably to Everton and Watford and even losing at home to Southampton. I presume this is due to just how much joy Pulis gleans from "getting one over on the big boys" rather than any integrity for the game.

Harry Palmr

Not sure beating Arsenal is something to read much into these days! (ditto the Utd result)

True, but it's more than a coincidence imo that they lost all the other 3 all the same since hitting 40.

Harry Palmr

Well I suppose it could be read as a compliment then when they beat Liverpool.

So the situation looks like this:

Chelsea 75 - United, Soton, Everton, Boro, WBA, Sunderland, Watford (tba)



Spurs 68 - Bournemouth, Palace, Arsenal, West Ham, United, Hull, Leicester (tba)


Liverpool 63 - WBA, Palace, Watford, Soton, West Ham, Boro


City 61 - Soton, United, Boro, palace, Leicester, Watford, West Brom (tba)


United 57 - Chelsea, Burnley, City, Swansea, Arsenal, Spurs, Palace, Soton (tba)

Arsenal 54 - Boro, Leicester, Spurs, United, Stoke, Everton, Sunderland and Soton (tba)


A lot of games to be confirmed for dates...................

Just to continue the fun and games.
This predicts the final points total based on
1) Average ppg from the last 6 games
and
2) The points from the reverse fixtures.
Also shows the ppg needed to reach 76 and how that compares versus the season average.

With Beale moving on, the U-23's , maybe?

Agent Coulson

Carra and Richard Keys going at it on Twitter.

What would be your verdict be on the Liverpool players that failed time and again to win the title down the years?

Interested in what your verdict is on why you failed to keep your job at Sky? Not heard you mention it before.

Keys gets no sympathy from me for being on the wrong end of that sliding tackle!

Turtyturd

No sympathy for Keyes but it also shows how pathetic Carragher is.

Harry Palmr

He'll never be anything other than Bootle.

Potential Underachiever

Jamie Carragher is a Liverpool legend, just thought I'd state that fact, carry on....

Agent Coulson

Carra does go on Pilsbury Doughboy style meltdowns on Twitter every now and then.

murpho999

Fair play to Carra.

It all started when Keys tweeted him to say he couldn't call Arsenal players cowards like he did last night.

Keys is just an annoying frustrated nobody who wants to be a somebody.

Carra is better at point scoring though.

That comment from Carragher stood out for me too! Cowards! Ahahaha. He doesnt pull any punches at all. You never know what Carragher is going to come out with :pac:

I'm presuming Keyes is an Arsenal fan then. I don't blame him for calling Carragher on it. I liked Andy Gray and Richard Keyes a lot. They produced a really entertaining and polished football show. In particular I loved Gray's massive enthusiasm for the game. 'Get in you beauty!' and 'take a bow son' are etched into my mind. They really brougt on sports coverage a lot.

Sure they were a bit misogynistic but they had been like that from the start ('lads banter' and all that). Sky really backstabbed them in the end.

No,they stabbed themselves in the back by being misogynistic pricks. Don't know how you could have any pity for them tbh.

I only do insofar as they were betrayed by Sky. Sky had no problem in throwing them under the bus after they had been a massive part in their success. They completely washed their hands of them. Their attitudes would have been no surprise so to react as they did was disingenuous and didnt show much loyalty.

I dont condone that kinda ****e talk but it's rife in that world. They thought they were off camera, making some stupid comment or observation between them.

Jaysus. I'm at Piers Morgan levels of hatred when I think of old hairy hands. Deserved everything he got and a lot more besides. Odious twat.

For the first few years I enjoyed them, but their schtick was getting very tired and I was pretty sick of both of them by the time they got the heave go. I was glad to see the back of them for reasons unconnected to any outrage over what they said.

brevity

That video that came out of Keyes and Gray was the tip of the iceberg I'd say.

****ing creeps the two of them.

That clip of Keys 'bantzing' with Jamie Redknapp would move the tightest to donate heavily to some sort of sad old bastard related charity.

Haha well said Carragher. Can't stand Keys. Gives me the creeps with those ****ing hairy hands

Do you think it's still rife at Sky? Or do you think since they left, it's become a more professional environment? I daresay I suspect the latter.

yes, Sky obviously framed it to put themselves in the best light, but what else would you expect? The lads deserved to be fired, and were actually bloody lucky to last as long as they did. I certainly wouldn't give Sky any praise for doing what they did, as I'm sure they acted on what they thought was most profitable for the company. But that doesn't mean Keyes and Gray deserved anything better than they got.

Actually Richard Keys is a Coventry City fan I think. Couldn't stand Keys and Gray when they were on sky sports, was delighted when they got the boot. Keys does come across as a right old creep.

So we are looking at Oxlade-Chamberlain and are not put off by the £35m valuation.


He is in the last year of his contract so I'd imagine he would go for a lot less than £35m.
